When we show a facility to users that doesn't actually work it disappoints or confuses them.

The changelog field is like this because we invite RMs to paste in their changelog, but it is not visible to anyone but the project owner.

It's true people can learn to use the description instead, as in <https://launchpad.net/bzr/1.2/1.2>. But this is poorly suited to the typical contents of a changelog, which is long and wants to be shown as preformatted text. So on that page the list of download files is pushed below the fold.

It would be better to have a link to see the changelog.
